are we live is this working hello everybody Welcome to the
live show that uh that I promised I really hope the mic is uh is working
okay because it's been really irritating
me so we we've we've run through some some of the different problems that
we've had I'm quiet okay I can fix quiet
actually believe it or not I can I can do that okay so I'm gonna I'm going to
turn it up I'm turning it up now in fact here I'll even show you guys how I'm
turning it up so I'll I'm going to turn it up right in here see so I tried this
uh this steel series USB sound card that
was seemed to be fixing some of the issues and then it didn't fix other
issues and I'm going to turn it up just a little bit because some of you are
saying you don't want it up that high so there we go good evening everybody and
we've got a fantastic show for you actually we don't really have a show at
all we just have me sort of sitting here
and hopefully taking some questions although I do want to start with
something that is on everybody's mind
so don't
iPhone 5 what do you guys think of this
uh go ahead you can use a twitch chat you can use Twitter so we're going to go
ahead and add another uh actually no
we're not We're Not Gonna We're not gonna we're not going to add anything right now so I want to I want to know
what you guys think I'm going to let you know what I think so what what I think
is that basically I don't understand any
reason why anyone who owns an Apple phone is upgrading from a 4 or 4S to
this phone because it looks like what we're what we're dealing with is a phone
that is basically a little bit see this to me is a lot like the iPad 1 to iPad 2
upgrade because what we're getting is a slightly thinner device with
um
um slightly less weight and we're
getting basically a slightly longer screen although although that's actually
one of the things I like so compared to what I've seen from most people who are
saying that they think it's phenomenally stupid that Apple has just enlarged the
screen I have small hands so I would like to explain from an ergonomics
perspective why they've done that I can already barely reach see I'm going to
show you guys this I can barely reach to the edge of my iPhone screen had they
made it a little bit wider I wouldn't be
able to reach at all especially something in the top left corner I can barely make it up there so that's why I
think they've gone ahead and and done it that way way so yeah okay guys you guys
are giving me a hard time you're like yeah it has a better screen it has a better camera I understand all of that
and that's all fine and good but it's very small incremental changes I mean
I've Got a Friend one of my one of my badminton buddies is just like I I I
asked him about this uh when the 4S was released I was like okay you got iPhone
4 are you what do you think are you planning to upgrade to the 4S he's like
yeah I'm like okay uh why and he's like
oh because I just I have the latest one and that's that's like the kind of guy I
am and I'm like oh okay so so um so
you're the kind of guy who just like just like buys it because because just
whatever and if you followed me on Twitter AZ 832 you would already know
that I play badminton so you should be following me on Twitter at lusch so
there you go bam I'm gon to also I'm going to try and read some of these
comments here for a little bit guys um Rel your important question about water
cooling and a 3930k in a particular sort of configuration I can't take any
questions about exact configurations on these live streams because I have to
focus on the things
that everyone stands a chance of finding
relevant all right here we go two-year upgrade cycle is good yeah two-year
upgrade cycle is okay but I don't I don't really understand why my iPhone 4
already does everything I could possibly possibly want uh someone is asking me
when's the next ncx Warehouse sale probably not coming for a little while
if you guys don't know our warehouse sales at NC are like crazy crazy things
that uh that basically involve here I'm
going to switch over to my uh to my other view here there we go crazy crazy
things that involve us selling stuff at like half of our original cost going to
go ahead and change this to the connect tab I'm going to take some questions on Twitter as well so I'm going to try and
pay attention to Twitter as well as the uh as the Twitch TV chat I'm going to
move myself a little bit to the side
here yeah let's do some questions when
are the 8,000 series AMD gpus going to be out guys I hope you know that I
cannot speculate on any kind of upcoming
uh upcoming video cards or anything like that this really doesn't work like that
what do I think of the PS Vita uh if if you've ever tried the V you'll know that
the screen is actually outstanding um
it's got the usual sort of like Playstation controls that you've come to
expect but from my perspective I I don't see the point because we can already use
emulators on our Android phones or we can use our well our phones especially
if you have like a Tegra powered phone or anything like that to run pretty
intensive games and the the whole the whole point of a handheld console to me
is really really going away very very quickly uh Ryan wants me to turn down
the contrast and white balance you know what dude there's not a whole lot I can do about it this webcam sucks and I
tried playing around with the with the colors and just uh yeah nothing nothing
good was happening there so Wen go uh wants to know what happened to
slick slick has not gone anywhere we have a new intern his name is diesel
slick is 100% still with the show in fact slick is actually spending his
entire evening tonight I dropped by his place I had his check um I had a tablet
for him to borrow for a little while he can use it for his school work he can
download textbooks or something like that and I also dropped him off all the
latest upcoming Trinity apus so he has
three new processors from AMD that have
a CPU and a GPU built into them he also has the allnew uh FX chip so I I dropped
off four mother five motherboards some competing Intel CPUs four new AMD CPUs
an 8150 and an 1100t just for Giggles so
we are going to have a ton of content coming up about uh all of AMD's new
video cards and Slick is 100% on board he's working on them and we're very very
excited about that I I I mean personally
guys I really do wish for a competitive AMD I think it helps for it helps us
have a healthier Marketplace I think it gives consumers more options and I yeah
I believe it's very very important uh Joseph wants to know what I thought
about the MSI M Power I think I have three videos about it Joseph
um I think it's awesome I think that manufacturers stepping up the way that
they do quality control should be the way that they're differentiating from
each other because it's one thing if you know manufacturer says well it has
Japanese capacitors but that doesn't mean anything unless they're backing it
up with a longer warranty or they're really Q seeing it in a way that means
that you will not receive a DOA I mean MSI won't come out and say you can't get
a do power motherboard but I would come
out and say you pretty much can't get an MSI Empower motherboard that's Dead on
Arrival it should pretty much be work should pretty much work right off the
bat MB wants to know if streams on Twitch will be recorded and put on
YouTube absolutely they will 100% it
will H it will be happening uh ramz is not impressed with
the new iPhone make a lightning cable review on lineus cat tips you know what
this is sort of an interesting suggestion for uh for for for one one
reason here so I'm going to I'm going to share this with you guys if you guys haven't already seen
just going to I forgot to set up my hot keys for switching between between these
things so let's go ahead and search for
Thunderbolt cable you know what I I wonder how many
videos there are about Apple's Thunderbolt cable there can't be that
many and apparently it won't do ah yes the Thunderbolt cable unboxing if you
guys haven't already seen this you know I don't I don't like I don't like to
toot my own horn or anything and oh look at this we're all going to watch the uh
the add together I'm showing you guys what not to do don't skip the ad that's
that's bad you don't you don't want to do that so we're going to go to full screen here and this is this is probably
one of my favorite videos that slick and I have ever worked on together um I
don't know if can you guys hear I don't know can you can you hear I don't know
if you can hear but basically we were uh
we we decided to find out what the effects of opening up a $50 cable could
be people are are saying no we can't hear can you hear now no we cannot hear
yes no no yes no you guys are making it impossible to
tell okay whatever it doesn't matter you don't really need the sound so we we
basically yeah we basically figured out that if you open
up one of these $50 cables it turns you into some kind of phenomenal superhero
and guys there's there's no sound there's really no sound all you have to
do is just kind of watch the video here and uh and you you can you can
experience if you want to if you really want to watch it with sound then all you have to do is go search for Thunderbolt
cable on YouTube and uh and you will you
will experience something that you will rarely experience outside of this this
particular video so I don't know if you guys saw that we're going to we're going
to go back we're going to rewind to the part where I go flying through the fence
I was planning to fix my fence anyway so
uh you can see there's actually already holes in the fence right here see this
spot where there's a hole in the fence so um yeah since I was planning on that
anyway I decided we might as well just try and try and break the fence and and
see how that that that went for us my my wife was super impressed with this video
she she definitely thought it was our finest work and I'm sorry the video is
lagging we are going to get better equipment soon I actually have a couple
of um what are they called Black Magic
intensity whatever the Thunderbolt one the external one so I have I have a
couple of those coming soon and I'm definitely excited about being able to
stream from uh from an HDMI capture card as opposed to relying
on sort of fail fail stuff like like
what we're doing right now which is like webcams and uh and and like audio
capture that's just just terrible compared to what we what we really
should be using so let's go back to our let's go back to our Twitter feed here
and see if we've got any other great questions on Twitter guys if you're not
already following me on Twitter it's at Linus Tech so make sure you're doing
that because Twitter is going to be my primary way of communicating uh during
these live streams so if you yeah if you're not on Twitter then just just get
Twitter it's really not that hard you just sign up for it if you people okay
people have sort of an interest everyone has a different philosophy about social
social media social networks signing up for things so number one Twitter's big
enough that like they're not going to sell your information they they have a
privacy policy and corporate whatever ho-ha that it's not going to be that much of a problem and a social network
is only as intrusive and annoying as you allow it to be if you follow every
retailer who throws a contest at you on Twitter or if you follow every celebrity
that has a staff of six people writing
tweets um for them and then posting it
then yes you will have a really obnoxious Twitter feed and it'll become
ignoring worthy however if you just follow people that you genuinely want to
interact with then I really don't think it's that bad uh I think the lightning
cable is quite awesome I'm really interested to see why the lightning
cable like is this a Thunderbolt compatible thing
is I don't know I I'm just I'm finding
this whole thing very very confusing although Tim Cook claims for the iPhone
5 that the lightning connector is staying for a long time
so yeah as for Twitter sucking I I know
I know but the the reason Twitter sucks is because of all the spam horrible
stupid content on it like trending trending topics this is the worst thing
in the world and just playing shouldn't exist it toast wants me to take my
server off the floor okay I'll tell you what I toast if you buy me a rack to
install in my storage closet then I will take my server off the floor no big deal
um lus do I know anything about the iPad Mini no no one no one really knows
anything about it uh Lan wants to know what's the best
Cherry MX Blue keyboard you know what pretty much any MX Blue keyboard is
pretty good although out of the build quality of the keyboards that we've
really spent time with if I was picking something for doing lots of typing or
for gaming or actually basically for anything I would go with the filco um
just find any filco keyboard you can get like the camo one or the ones with like
the writing on like the bottom or the side of the switches or or whatever it
doesn't matter filco keyboards are built like tanks like they're not model M's
but they're they're outstanding so uh
yeah that's probably what I would go with anything from filco lonus do you
have any any info about a gForce based gk10 card by NVIDIA I would love to
explain to you guys what an NDA is an NDA is a non-disclosure agreement
basically for anyone to tell me anything
whether they're NVIDIA or Intel AMD whoever else they make me sign my name
on a piece of paper that says I will not disclose any information about it if I
were to break an NDA would never get a sample of anything ever again so doesn't
happen I will not talk about things that aren't released unless I have prior
approval because I want to be able to keep bringing content to you guys and
I'm not going to be able to do that if I can't get any video cards or CPUs or
motherboards then I'll just I'll be like I'll be I'll be I'll be an apple
Channel and I will I will talk about
Apple um Savage Joe says lonus I don't
use Twitter so here's my question Savage Joe learn to use Twitter and I will
answer your question actually I'll answer your question anyway could an
audio chip on a motherboard cause random freezing and sound looping absolutely
onboard audio sucks balls it sucks balls
in every possible way you don't use it um there are motherboards that do have
decent onboard audio something like a Maximus 4 a maxim rather Maximus 5
formula has truly well-designed onboard
audio that has true PCB separation from the rest of the the rest of the
components on the board however 99.9% of
boards do not have the kind of engineering that as put into that board
and are terrible so don't use them uh
you should always be using a real sound card and those of you who don't believe
actually this is great because I did a video about the ASUS Zonar DDX or DG or
something like that low-end ASUS sound card and I had someone message me like
they wrote out this long message and they were like lonus thank you so much
for enlightening me I always thought onboard sound was fine and you know I
was on hard Forum or whatever the Forum it was some Forum where they think they
know a lot but they don't um I was on this forum and everyone said sound cards
are for audio files or whatever else
they're not and someone says they have a Maximus
5 formula okay something something uh anyway so he said you know what I I
always thought it was fine because people said that it's for audio files only and you can never tell the
difference blah blah blah um I installed a cheapo sound card and my eyes have
been opened because a sound card makes a difference to everything you do whether
it's Games music movies Windows sounds it doesn't matter
you need to have a sound card everyone needs a sound card it's not
negotiable um someone has a Maximus five
cool story bro lus do you love me from Justin absolutely everyone who's taking
the time to be here with me at 10:00 my time to just listen to me ramble about
random Hardware I I love you all because lime fire says no I don't love no yes I
do I just said I do mind you I think there's a bit of a delay on the stream
so we should like we should give is John still here like we should give him a
hard time about it John fix your fix your leg or
something bam this is my first time using twitch and I'm already like
burning their uh I'm already burning their service however it's a 100 times
better than uh than Google Hangouts on air which I was which I was super not
impressed about and uh super not not
happy about because it it it glitched out and was was generally not very good
in any way so hold on give me two seconds here guys I'm just going to try
and figure out if I can uh transition if
I can find a way to to bind my scenes to uh to hotkeys because there was a way
there's a way to do this and I don't remember how to do it okay you know what forget it I'll just keep doing it with
the Mouse um speaking of in uh speaking of YouTube live streams for those of you
who don't know I'm trying to communicate this as much as I can I will be
uploading these twitch live streams to YouTube when I'm done so if you miss
them you can watch them on YouTube no problem and black
pseudo sudo aside says he has to go and
I'm very sorry in the future I'm probably going to be moving these live
streams back an hour so it'll be 900 p.m. my time which will be midnight
Eastern Standard Time which is better for better for Canadians um and I mean
the rest of the world I'm sorry but I've had no matter what time I do it at
someone from Asia or someone from Europe is going to tell okay remember guys
there's 24 time zones in the world not counting like the ones that don't count
like New Finland where they're like half an hour ahead um so there's 24 major
time zones and then everyone during that time probably is sleeping for eight
hours and at work for eight hours so
there is a there is like a two in three chance that no matter what time I stream
at you won't be able to watch it because you're at work or because you're
sleeping so I can only do so much and I really appreciate those of you who are
tuning in no matter what time it is Luca
Zs WS2 something says it's 700 a.m. his
time dude I wouldn't be up if it was 7 a.m. so I really appreciate that you
guys are awesome in every possible way uh salmon Salman Elite wants to know why
there haven't been any Linus cat tips videos um honestly it's been a bit of a
well here I'm going to go get my I'm going to go get my camera and I'll
explain why with a prop so I'll be back in two seconds
was that two seconds I hope that was pretty good okay so this camera this is
my high-end camera this is my XA 10 um
this camera I usually don't transport to and from home so I uh this is the only
one that performs half decent in my house because my house doesn't have a
great lighting and my regular blob BL blob camera blob camera BL blob uh my
blog camera the sx1 is cannot capture
video in my house worth crap so the only times I can really use it are on
weekends because I work during the day and on weekends I like to spend time
with my family as much as I possibly can uh when I'm not like benchmarking stuff
and whatnot so uh and as for you guys complaining about the washed out colors
I will be dealing with it soon okay just relax um so anyway right so this camera
I don't usually bring it home and so there's no time to film the cats they're
adorable still I I love them to death and they're always up to their Antics
but I will be looking at bringing the lineus cat tips Channel back once we get
ourselves a couple of new Panasonic cameras and I can start transporting
this one around with me as my general purpose blog camera so yes very exciting
stuff Linus from the brimstone is there any real difference between the GTX 670m
and a desktop GTX 670 yes all the difference in the world mobile graphics
cards are very underpowered compared to their desktop equivalents basically the
the naming schemes on Notebook graphics cards seem to be designed to be as
confusing as possible so just just give
up now the only thing that you can do is
you can find a review where someone has benchmarked a notebook with that
graphics card and that'll give you some idea how it'll perform that's pretty
much all you can do uh let's see if we can get to some more
Twitter questions here guys uh John Norton wants to know MSI or ASUS for an
LGA 1155 socket well first of all if you
buy a socket by itself you're not going to get the functionality that you expect
from that product because the socket is not actually what delivers the
communication between the CPU and the rest of your system you will need a full
motherboard to go with that socket and I would definitely suggest to you that
actually either MSI or ASUS are great options right now for gamers I would
particularly take a look at the M powerboard from MSI it actually has an
incredibly full feature set for the price plus it has that extra QC they're
putting into it or the saber-tooth from ASUS which comes with a 5-year warranty
and their thermal armor which is not really that important for cooling but
looks badass in your system especially if you want to go for like a nice clean
build and those of you who are into get Jason Chang yes I play Bad calm down
stop typing in all caps um something now I've lost what I was
talking about right so the saber 2 looks
badass you want nice clean cabling you want like a sweet looking gaming system
lighting effects and stuff so yes it's a very good choice either of them are good
anything from The Big Three ASUS MSI Gigabyte those are your big three a lot
of people are starting to count ASRock um I don't yet I need to see it proven
to me first and I just really haven't
really haven't had much experience with their board so I don't feel that confident recommending
them all right Daniel says at what point in your life did you decide to make a
living off onboxing benchmarking Etc electronic products I do not make a
living off of what I do here on the interwebs um at least not yet I make a
living as a product manager at ncx in fact I'd love to share with you guys uh
another YouTube video here so I'm just going to uh this is this is a series
that I've started doing and I'd love to change this into a live show at some
point but this is netlink weekly you can watch all the episodes on the tube and
in episode I believe it's netlink weekly
episode 8 I actually interview
myself about my job so I uh I pose a s
okay you know it's funny because here this is hilarious okay so this isn't
aside Google's terms of service dictate
to me that I cannot intentionally use my own ads to drive
Revenue to myself so why does it serve
me ads when I'm watching my videos some of which are unskippable this is like
Paradox mind screwy that's going on here
because I can't skip the ad I want to
watch my own video but if I watch the ad
then I will be violating YouTube's terms of service I mean can they can they ban me
from YouTube for watching my own ad it's like unbelievable anyway sorry
let's switch back so so in this episode of netlink weekly I interview me let's
just make the player a little bigger here so you guys can actually see what's going on at least I think I do in this
episode if it's the wrong one ah yes here we go so I ask myself like a
question and then uh I I magically appear in the shot to answer the
question and uh I actually I actually changed my shirt in between every shot
and uh see I answered my own question question I actually put sunglasses on so
if you yes I know there's no sound calm down I haven't figured out how to do
it um so anyway this this this was this was
this was fun and you guys should definitely subscribe to the ncixcom
channel so that you can uh you can definitely check out this weekly content
as well as all the other videos I do over there in fact originally Linus Tech
tips existed for the sole purpose
of um unboxing the products just doing like show quick Showcases of the product
to to improve our time to market with the videos for ncx Tech tips videos so
if you go back at some of the older ncx Tech tips videos I'm just going to going
to bring up the uh the NC channel here and I'll flip over to that on scene
three because I'm like totally managing
the uh like the scenes I'm using xplit
like a bouse actually I'm not using using xplit like a boss I'm using xplit
like some Noob that's horrible and doesn't know doesn't know how to use it
so um let's go back to some of the older episodes like when did we start doing
unboxings I think we started doing unboxings around the time yeah no it was
definitely after this okay now I've gotten confused and
I've lost track of what's going on it was around the launch of socket
1156 ah yes so like around the time we
started doing uh oh maybe it wasn't okay you know what I give up on this I'm just
going to switch back to the other scene and let's just let's just let's just
forget about that whole thing and let that ever happened because I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about so
Daniel in short um I
didn't mark I live in Korea where people
are glued to their phones and tablets to the point where it scares me will the
same happen elsewhere I believe so in fact I was having an argument with one
of my co-workers not that long ago where where I suggested to him that what will
happen and and that and that it's happening today that no one will
actually know how to drive their car anywhere because for me when I first
started driving and you couldn't you didn't know where you were going you had
someone like draw on a piece of paper and like label it and it was usually
inaccurate or you actually kept a physical map in your car and then you
would pull over and read it and like try to figure out where you were going
whereas now this is the funniest thing and I'm going to I'm totally going to burn slick here
because he's such a like kids today in this way he doesn't know how to get from
his house to our studio he follows
Google Maps every time he cannot do it by memory and this backed up my argument
with my coworker which was last summer when I said kids are not going to know
how to navigate the road and they're not going to know how to use maps because
they don't have to they are going to grow up with turn by turn a available to
them at all times and the world is changing to the point where you're not
going to actually have to remember anything like when I again same thing
when I was growing up you had to remember a phone number to call someone
if you couldn't remember a girl's phone number you didn't write it down somewhere like like like that was it
whereas now with the convenience of of
of contact lists lists and address books
I I I don't know anybody's number I know my own number I know my wife's number
and I know my work number I know my
parents number but guys feel free Post in the chat Post in the chat on the
Twitch TV how many phone numbers do you actually know whereas when I was in
elementary school I knew all my friends phone numbers I knew uh you know all my
relatives phone numbers there you go I think I think
things are changing uh people asking how how old I am I am 26 so there you go so
I've been doing YouTube videos since I was about 21 22
too and uh see see people are replying I
know 911 yeah see exactly 554 6 113
people don't remember phone numbers anymore and that's why that's what made
me think of this whole map thing this navigation thing if you have a phone
that's just going to tell you what to do and will even do it smarter than you can
because it'll tell you when there's traffic it'll tell you if there's a roadblock it'll tell you if there's a
cop why would you ever memorize it anymore very very interesting stuff
okay um Matt wants to know if you have a 2600k already wait for Haswell or not
worth upgrading um probably not worth
upgrading to ivybridge especially if you're an overclocker uh the the perform
I mean it is a it's it's either a tick or a talk it's whichever one is the
process shrink without that many architectural improvements so wait for
the big uh the big architectural improvements Thor h13 wants to be a mod
okay done if you want a block the porn links then feel free my friend make it
happen sir All Right Moving On Right
Along something best linest video ever
sweet uh have I heard about the okay I think we're back to where oh my goodness
200 214 new interactions what am I going to do with you guys I should show you
some high school pictures you know what if you're subscribed on Twitter uh or
following on Twitter I guess would be the correct terminology it wasn't a high
school picture but this is this is one of my elementary school pictures this is
just this is just fantastic you guys are going to love this I had the most
outstanding mullet and like bucktooth
overbite that you ever did see check this out I'm just going to hold this up
to the camera I hope this kind of works that is me when I was in elementary
school is that is that not like legendary hair right there oh there we
go it's finally popped into Focus so uh
why would I not post old pictures of myself I think that that should be um
that should be evident based on that picture that I just shared with y'all
see for my American viewers y'all I'm GNA say y'all and a and I got someone
burned me today at work for calling it ocz because apparently Z is I see I can
never remember I use Z and Z interchangeably I think these are very
Minor Details in
life um Stephen wants to know how do I think my son will think of me when he
grows up um I have no idea because there
will be so much video I mean I thought about this because so much of what I've
done over the last four years is like documented on the Internet and try as I
might to um to to to to erase any of it
it's just it's there forever that's what that's what you realize at a certain
point so check this out uh lonus um top
moments or something like that like some guy
um lioness uh moments I don't I don't I
don't remember where it is but some moments there there I think I think this
is the one it might be him it might be someone else like people do
compilations of like me on the internet
that is to me like the strangest thing the strangest thing
ever but like I mean look at
this I think there's I think there's another one um and no I'm not planning
any Linux builds uh
lus Tech
uh I don't know I don't I don't remember I don't remember what it's called but
it's somewhere I I encountered it uh a little while ago someone like made this
video that was just a bunch of random random Linus Tech tips uh Linus Tech
tips moments but it really made me realize that um no matter what I do I
will always be sort of there on the internet um one of the other moments I
had about this was to do with not only my my own persistence on the interwebs
but also cloud computing so if you guys haven't seen the sorry I'm going to
switch back to that uh to that other window uh NC Cloud watch this episode
because it didn't get a whole lot of views but I think what you guys can see
here is from the like to dislike ratio which is 200000 to4 it was actually an
outstanding video that we did uh where I talked a lot about the the level of
discomfort I have over um what happened
when my accounts Got Hijacked so if you guys haven't been subscribed for a long
time about a year ago both of my accounts Got Hijacked someone got a key
logger on my machine took them over wiped out all my videos uh posted a
bunch of spam videos it took me about a month to get them back dealing with uh
dealing with partner support dealing with Google's support team which was
non-existent at the time but they've been quite a bit better since then and
um what happened was when I got in touch with Google support was they not only
restored my channel which is great but they restored every video I had ever
deleted as well so things like test footage that we that we uh that we
uploaded a long time ago um things like like videos that we never intended to
release all just got released and what I realized is you never delete anything
from the cloud at all and uh how
terrifying is that because it means that your data will always be there so that's
uh that's why I created my own offsite backup server and I do try to turn all
of my um I do try to turn all of
my what I the right I do try to store all of my
data on my own servers as opposed to using services like Dropbox or whatever
else lus I have wanted to ask this for ages are you streaming from a kitchen I
am absolutely streaming from a kitchen I would love to share with you guys my
kitchen this is my kitchen so this is my rice cooker this
is my juice jug uh this is my Saran Wrap This is my
power line adapter box so I'm using
power line now guys I am not using Wireless for my stream this week okay
power line is is a is beastly that is my
Tropicana which I should have some of that is my shepherd's pie which was
freaking delicious my wife made it and that is the tin foil that was covering
the shepherd's pie that is an oven mitt that is my bread box that's my butter
dish that's my microwave these are my cabinet
okay I don't have a degree for those of you asking that is my fridge that is my
backpack that I carry my things in this
is my baby's swinging seat that is a laundry hamper which is in the kitchen
for you know probably a good reason this is my cereal see delicious right Mini
Wheats and behind it is Honey Nut Cheerios and that is cream of wheat this
is my dish rack this is my paper towels
this is my recycling pile that I take out once in a while uh my cabinets are
here and there's more cabinets behind there but you can't see them that is my
water cooler that is a bunch of baby crap that
you can see because I have a baby um
that is his bouncy seat right there with his foam with his stuffed animal sock
and his soccer ball that I throw and he likes oh that's my dinner okay gotten
things things got too real there my dinner
uh AJR I'm sorry it's so late uh we can potentially look at changing the time of
the stream at some point but
uh yeah nothing we can do for this week because it's already started so let's go
ahead and go back to our go back to our go back to our Twitter and see if we can
find anything that anyone wants to wants to hear
about uh lonus it's flip do I stay with
LGA 1155 or LGA 2011 because I just built a new pc with 1155 stick with 1155
for now uh in fact the highest end
chips um are are on lg1155 right now in terms
of quad course Matt says where does
lonus live this live show is crap I
would like to know how those two things are related Matt I am definitely waiting
for you to post a followup to that
because I want to know why where I live is related to my live show not being
very good and I'm very sorry live show is not very good what is oh that's a
good question Justin 45654 wants to know what is your favorite looking GPU of all
time the GTX 480 is my favorite looking
GPU not my favorite GPU in general but
definitely my favorite looking GPU those heat pipes that came out of the top of
it are just like H they're just so
amazing I mean for those of you who don't know what a GTX 480 looks like it
is just a thing of beauty and it's a thing of beauty out of necessity I mean
I don't think NVIDIA wanted to spend
this much on that cooler oh look at that my favorite review site Hardware
connects there you go that is what a gtx480 looks like this this was all
metal so wh pointing wrong way that was all metal on the top I have never seen
that since except for the GTX 690 which
does use a metal shroud but this metal was involved in the cooling because this
GPU ran so freaking hot and those heat pipes that came out of the top made it
incompatible with a number of cases but like oh they looked so good Slick's
actually running my uh my review sample of GTX
480 um and Matt mace says you read I was
just saying the live show is crap it was legging For Me Oh you mean it's crap
it's lagging not it's crap I suck at doing live streams although hey Focus
although it's possible that I suck at doing live streams but this is still
practice for me this is only my third live stream so far so I'm still trying
to get the hang of it anyway gtx480 is by far my favorite looking GPU right
Slick's still using it and he like he doesn't even want to change it just
because it looks so sexy and good and
awesome so back to Twitter all right what do we
got um moving right along will you be doing reviews for the new Ivy Bridge i3s
not really I mean why I'm really interested in getting one for game I
need an expert opinion Adam West do not get it for gaming even AMD's last
generation apus are dramatically better
for gaming than an Intel Ivory Bridge
chip if you do a search for um Apu NCIX
you guys will find uh not this one ah yes this guy right here the integrated
Graphics igp Showdown Intel Ivy Bridge
versus AMD Lano and more ads I'm sorry
for ads guys but ads really do keep the
NC Tech tips project going in a big way
and wow my hair was outstanding in this video so by the end of this video I
believe we put up some graphs that show the uh the Apu just just absolutely
demolishing even the higher end Ivy Bridge chips remember these were
i7s and uh oh oh hold on hold on wait
for it yes i7s and i5 not i3s just
getting destroyed and yes if this is the real Adam West then I'm a huge fan and
if it's not the Adam West then you impostor how dare you defile his good
name asking questions about i3s on the
internet have I ever heard of or used an astro gaming headset sorry no dice
although if everyone who recommends um uh everyone who asks me
for a headset recommendation gets pretty much the same one I'm a huge fan of the
steel series 7h best audio quality for a gaming headset by far the ASUS Vulcan
ANC is actually okay I shouldn't say by far because the Vulcan ANC is close and
has active noise cancelling and then after that it's just it's a mix because
I mean people people are like oh I heard the Siberia V2 is really good where did
you hear the vi Siberia V2 is really good like who told you this where are
you guys getting information from you should be watching my channel if you want information because yeah Siberia V2
is like yeah um it's not good it's
comfortable so it's kind of like the uh it's like the Corsair Vengeance 1300 or
1500 it's like it's comfortable but this is not groundbreaking audio quality by
any stretch of the imagination guys don't kid yourself you want a good
headset you buy a good headset not like a 4050 $60 headset it's not going to be
good this is a terrible headset it's already uncomfortable I've only been
wearing it for a little while Kyle Harris wants to know if my wife gets along with Esther I would think so
they're sisters moving right along
Isabella H lus showed this tweet on your live cam PS my boyfriend loves your
videos there you go Isabella you are
live or if you're watching this on YouTube after the live stream then
you're not live okay moving right along hi I love
your show what's your opinion of the steel series 7g is there a similar keyboard you suggest I actually did a
huge episode a huge mechanical keyboard Roundup I know this is just turning into
lus schooling you on how if you actually watched my videos here I bet it's the
first hit if I search for mechanical keyboard bam other than the ad first hit
mechanical keyboard overview and showcase featuring pretty much every
brand that matters look at all those keyboards we have uh what is it 12
keyboards here so if you guys paid attention you would already know the
answer to that question uh which is that the 7g is a great keyboard but
back to Twitter but um the key caps sometimes fall off the hand or the wrist
rest on it is outstanding my wife refuses to use anything but a 7g due to
the awesome wrist rest it looks ridiculous but it is so comfortable the
type one so I would definitely recommend the 7g if you want the best rist rest
ever personally I'm using a mionix zal 6D right
now which is my favorite will I put my
videos on DVD you want a collection why don't you just um get a pivos AOS like
media set toop box and then use YouTube
to watch them because I'm never taking them off YouTube that won't
happen uh Arrow wants to say to me use
Chrome with ad block for skipping YouTube ads I don't believe in skipping
YouTube ads I actually make a well I don't make a living off of it but I I I
I supplement my my income with YouTube ads so it's kind of like asking like
like software developers to Pirate they they usually have some qualms about that
because their entire livelihood um
relies on people not pirating software so
yeah um just so you know your kitchen looks awesome thank you I think my
kitchen's awesome too outstanding ah great question from John
Zoidberg and if you're the real John zoyberg big fan um colored tubes are
colored water for a custom water loop
tubes for custom water causes so many
problems because it just always gunks up like everybody claims that their
solution to the colored water problem is
going to cause it to not Gunk up but it always
does so yeah colored tubes in fact there
is no reason for any tubing to exist other than primoflex by primochill they
have outstanding colored tubes that also are antimicrobial so you don't have to
put any other additives in your water and they look outstanding T says read my
Twitter um I will try but I can only get through so many of
them okay difference between the 660 and the 660 Ti well performance uh the
actual GPU that they're using the clock speed the functional units the
price what do you want me to tell you
man uh Simon Gill says how do I read
tweets like you do I have no idea I think you can search for like at Linus
Tech and that might help but I'm not not 100% sure Josh wants to know what about
EVGA and I suspect this is in the context to what I said earlier about the
big three Aus Gigabyte MSI if you're talking about motherboards um I
personally don't really believe in using any motherboard that is not a volume
component so the the ones where they sell like hundreds of thousands of them
those are the ones that tend to get the after sales support because if they
didn't do it then there'd be lots of customers who would be vocal about not
supporting it um so anything that's not a volume part I generally avoid and that
includes every EVGA motherboard ever except their 680i
board so I mean I I like I like their
um yeah I like their
boards and um I mean but I just yeah uh for video
cards though fine yes EVGA is a big
three for video cards in fact uh the the rumor has it that they sell like more
high-end video cards in North America than everyone else combined they're
enormous let's move on down would I say the ASUS zents is still my favorite
sound card no there's a better one I forget if it's the St or the STX but
there's one that's actually better I just use the zents because it has that
sexy Chrome cover on it that I really
like all right so we've gotten down to where we had left off on tweets so oh
188 new interaction AC wow you guys are you guys are crazy and like yeah crazy
stuff uh Daniel says Linus this liquid works perfect Daniel you're wrong um
whether you think you're right or you think you're wrong you're wrong because
it doesn't work and at some point it will Gunk they all do I just don't care
anymore use yeah use uh something the other
thing use colored tubes someone wants me to answer the Peter Douglas Doug Peter
tweet I don't I don't see it yet at
least not yet shout out to fans in South Africa hail South Africa I really don't
think there are that many of you but um if there if there are any then
fantastic thank you for viewing my live
stream I'm actually curious to know if you guys can just sort of post in the
chat or Po in in Twitter I'd love to hear how you found the live stream
tonight because I had people reest that I post a video on YouTube about it so
are most of you following me here from the YouTube posting or or what or what's
the deal YouTube
YouTube YouTube YouTube YouTube links okay okay so that I'm I'm probably going
to keep doing that then I'll just post a video that the live stream's coming and
you guys can tune in and uh and yeah
that that'll that looks like it's going to be the okay all right calm down
that's enough okay I got the point YouTube you guys just killing me here
uh Julian wants to know if I will ever dye my hair again um you know what not
unless there's some kind of a particular and yes shout out to Prince rert I've
been there once before uh my family had a devastating car accident car accident
near Prince rert once uh my mom broke her back um my sister broke her ARM um
yeah yeah my mom suffered a head injury
that actually caused her to lose her ability to read um however I would like
you guys to know that that she made a full recovery and she is uh she's a
teacher now and she finished her degree and uh she she uh is an outstanding lady
outstanding lady because she was in a coma and was had a head injury to the
point where she basically couldn't remember who any of her family were and
uh made made one heck of a comeback okay last shout out to Victoria no more shout
outs because shout outs are basically a waste of time because no one but you cares you and
Victoria you day wants to know if I met Esther first or my wife I met my wife
first Esther is my wife's
sister Ash wants to know uh n his
question is
boring abotu wants to know if I will ever do a 4X GTX 680 versus 2 by GTX 690
test the answer is no because it doesn't matter um the gtx680 and the GTX 690
have exactly the same number of functional units which means that
and they're both going to be in four-way SLI so there's no there's no mystical
sort of anything going on here the performance will be the same and the
price is the same so yeah whatever just buy whichever one that you
like uh the 690 won't overclock as well the 680s will overclock better
so yeah bear that in
mind moving right along would I recommend a 25 K or 3570k for moderate
gaming they're both pretty similar with the 3570k being a little better um and
also a little bit more expensive Rob wants a personal rig update if he
watched my YouTube videos he would know that actually no he wouldn't know if he
was subscribed on Twitter if he was following me on Twitter he would know I have found a motherboard the x79 S UD
up5 Wi-Fi is going to be my motherboard it is absolutely silent and uh and is is
just awesome UD day lest did Esther introduce you to your now wife or did
your wife introduce you to Esther and she happened to be in NC I got Esther
her job at NC I've been with NCI for six years if you guys go back and find out
sort of when Esther started at NCI it's only a few years ago so at that time I
was already I was either engaged or in a serious relationship with her sister and
I uh I knew that Esther had the thing for you know social media so so that was
uh that was what went down that was how it happened there are two staff members in
here staff members of what can you tell in some way that there are staff members
like how does this
work I'm just curious like are they
marked are they oh the wrench fuzzy
otter balls are you all just totally
inappropriate why do you have names like that
involve like yeah see you're talking
you're talking about eping here totally inappropriate you're you're banned I
should ban you can I can I ban a staff member I'm going to try just for fun I'm
going to I'm going to bring this over here so you guys can all see what happens if I try to kick a staff member
unvoid Ben did it work oh my goodness it
worked okay can I unban him uh oh uh oh
uh oh hold on hold on I'm trying to unban him I can't I can't do it I can't
it's it's moving too fast you guys are moving it too
fast oh he says no I'm not B okay well
now we know what happens it tells me he's banned but it doesn't actually ban
him so we have learned something today
if nothing else um Elmo rigs wants to
know if I am going to Malaysia anytime soon I may be going to Malaysia sometime
soon there's a family reunion uh sometime next year and I might go or I
might not Joel Joel your your question is
legendary for a number of reasons are they twin sisters no but they're Asian
and if you're white then you probably think they all look the same anyway and
that is very insensitive of you they are
not twins lus this is a
teeth yeah yeah that's probably worthwhile
upgrade pulsky wants to know my opinion on the
fractal core 1000 great question um I
believe I have a video about this uh if I could figure out how to oh did I
break it is the live stream working did I switch to the wrong scene oh oh okay
okay hold on hold on and a there we go
yes I have a video about this if you search for core
1000 my search rankings are so good
fractal design core 1000 top hit you
just got you just got bammed so many people ask me me for ask me for like
recommendations or like ask me to do videos about stuff only to discover that
I have already done a video about it and
then there's new eggs video look at those guys look at Paul's
arms all in all seriousness though I like I like Paul but see he has he has
24,000 views and I have 45,000 views
ha but but but again in all seriousness Paul's a good guy let's go back to
Twitter there we go I should just be using the
same browser for this so that I don't have to like break it every
time uh rigs wants to know if I've ever
answered this but what is my opinion about RAM discs my opinion is that they're not really that useful unless
you have a lot of RAM so I haven't really I haven't really gotten to that
yet Chris has a great question Chris lonus do you think ARM will ever expand
into the desktop Market absolutely but not directly ARM does not actually make
uh make processors like that that go into products they rely on their
Partners such as NVIDIA to integrate ARM processors with some of the other
components that are needed to build the system on a chip and I believe that many
of those partners are definitely expecting desktop computers to happen
with ARM technology powering them we're going to see great power efficiency and
good enough performance although I suspect for anyone watching this stream
or subscribe to my channel that performance won't be good enough but
there we go Adam West I didn't mean I wanted to
use the igp of the I3 I meant I wanted to use it for the processing power then
in that case yes an I3 is a perfectly valid choice for a gaming machine the
one drawback is that you won't be able to overclock
really Peter has a great question Peter silberer bger really silverburg GTX 680
is main card would a GTX 560ti be good for a dedicated physics card or would it
throttle the system no throttling but I don't see the point because your GTX 680
is already so powerful that by the time it like allocates a little bit of its
power for processing physics stuff then
it won't actually detract from the overall performance that much I actually
did a really oh I did a really cool test uh back when Batman Arkham Asylum
launched uh where I used a passive 8800
GT as a physx card and the temperature
on the card while running the game with maximum fizx
on didn't change which suggests to me
that there's not a whole lot of processing going on although newer games
like Borderlands 2 might be
different lerberg I did not bash you on
the live stream I just said that I would be immortalized on the internet in part
due to you lerberg is the guy who made that video see he's in the uh he's in
the uh Twitch TV chat stoes asks me what do I think of
Maxi shine Maxi shine is the uh the bloke right the uh uh Maxi
shine oh no wait no I don't hold on what
what what's what's Maxi shining Maxie
shine uh oh no that's not that's not the one I'm thinking of I'm thinking of true
bdar I don't know I don't I don't know if I think a whole lot about maxi sh wow
he's got a lot of subscribers actually here's a cool tool you guys I don't know
if youve actually here I'm going to switch to my other uh I'm going to
switch to my other scene here there we go check this out this is what I use to
track uh to track uh blade.com
user Linus Tech tips so this is what I use to track YouTube junk uh it's
actually just this phenomenally cool tool so you can see the daily change in
subscribers video views uh Channel views
you can see Trends over time which is really really cool this number is
totally meaningless guys don't don't assume that it social blade doesn't suck
I use it I like it so whatever all
because of gamer name d dra I'm not
going to talk about it anymore
there black screen for
you I'm just messing no black screen go back to Twitter okay Chaz wants to know
what do you think would be the best time to buy or build a PC Black Friday is coming up and I was wondering if that's
a good idea absolutely Black Friday is an excellent
time to um to sorry someone says they're a
10-year-old moderator I don't care as long as you're willing to be more mature
than that guy who was posting crap last time around
um yes Black Friday is an excellent time to build a PC cuz there's great prices
Michael wants to know how do I know slick was he a friend before you worked
at NCI actually slick and I did not know each
other before he came to work at NC in
fact if you uh check this out so um Tech tips
assistant this is no longer live because I'm no longer looking for an assistant
and I'd have people messaging me all the time but this is the video this was the
video uh job uh job posting that I
created in order to in order to have
here we go someone join me on Tech tips
so I basically said I needed someone who could work flexible hours and who was
Technical and uh and and that my old
yeah and that my old whatever it's called thing my old
cameraman wasn't going to be able to help me anymore because he was just too darn busy and that was uh that was how
the recruitment process went and Slick was out of actually I got a ton of
applicants many of which who were awesome like I had um 10 people I think
or so that I that I interviewed and I had probably 20 or 30 resumés that were
good enough to interview but I just had to I had to narrow it
down had to narrow it down
yeah yeah all right moving right along will
there be any Tech tips for unboxings on the NVIDIA GTX 660 are you freaking
kidding me do I have to school you again all right
schooling time here we go we're going to go on the YouTube and we're going to
search for GTX 660 we're gonna see what comes up a new
egg beat me there's
me bam oh no that's 660 Ti okay okay okay I
I got I got owned there I got owned 660 Ti see that's the thing about NVIDIA's
naming scheme that sort of irks me there we go NVIDIA GTX 660 video card
introduction and there's probably more there's probably an unboxing GTX 660
video review see these are all front page results
guys um yeah so there's at least two front
page results from me oh there's the unboxing oh no that's motherboards.org
okay their thumbnails similar to mine good old elri but yeah there's
plenty of plenty of content about GTX 660 so feel free to check it out and if
you uh if you don't already know about it check out Hardware Canucks they do
fantastic video reviews fantastic video or not video
reviews fantastic written reviews that are that are great and just awesome
